by Karl Stieler (1842 - 1885)

Letzter Odem
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Alle sind zur Ruh' gegangen,
Und die Wimpern schließ ich zu,
Wimpern, drin die Thränen hangen,
Sterben -- o wie schwer bist du!

Stirn und Wangen fühl' ich beben,
Fieberbleich und sieberroth --
O, wie selig ist das leben!
O, wie bitter ist der Tod!!
